"The Garden of Radiance" is a zine by Japanese photographer Reiko Abe. Inspired by her encounter with gardening, she began photography, and this early collection of works was created while she was studying photography at Kyoto University of the Arts. Published in a limited edition of 150 copies, it was distributed at events such as the TOKYO ART BOOK FAIR. The artist consistently uses the signs of life and the shifting light she experiences while interacting with plants and forests as her central themes, and this work already showcases the perspective that would shape her later work. Rather than simply documenting plants as subjects, her photographs attempt to capture invisible sensations such as sunlight filtering through trees, wind, humidity, and seasonal changes, creating a delicate worldview reminiscent of a quiet dialogue with nature. The simple design condenses the artist's fundamental expressions, making it an important work that leads to her later solo exhibitions and creative projects. Due to its limited print run, distribution opportunities are also limited, making this a valuable zine for understanding her early work.
